Ghost Hunters
Enlist a volunteer to dress as a ghost and hide somewhere in the house then have guests search in all the dark nooks and crannies (closets, attic, basement, etc) to find the evil apparition.
The hunter who discovers the ghost cannot scream or the ghost can re-hide in a new location, taking the screamer captive.
Another fun variation of this game is Ghost Hunter tag. The “ghost” is “it”, and all the hunters must capture the ghost before he (or she) captures them. If touched first, the hunter is thrown into the scary cavern until all hunters are caught or the ghost is captured, whichever comes first. For a younger crowd, you may choose to make this a Halloween version of Frozen Tag by having the hunters freeze when touched by the ghost. Players can be “unfrozen” when touched by another hunter, but they must do this while also eluding the ghost.
This game is best if played outside on a dark night, but young children will also have fun indoors.
Missing Body Parts
Make up a story about the previous owner of your home (or any other appropriate scenario) having been killed and dismembered. His spirit has walked around tormented for the past several years and the only way to put him to rest is to find all his missing body parts so they can be buried together. Fill a witches cauldron with a thick murky brew and have guest put their hands in the slimy mixture to pull out squishy and decomposed eyeballs, fingers, or even the dead man's heart.
Another popular variation is to fill bags with squishy foods such as cold spaghetti, peeled grapes, or canned dog food and have blindfolded guests feel the items to see if they can identify the body parts.

Why is it that we love to be frightened? Is it the euphoric relief afterwards, or the excitement that gets our hearts pumping?
No doubt about it, whether our experience with ghouls, ghosts, zombies, werewolves or vampires is real or virtual, it releases adrenaline in our bloodstream which makes us feel more alive. It’s for this reason that we love to play scary games on Halloween…
it’s that unique combination of fun, fear and friendship, that make Halloween parties extra twisted. Your guests will remember your party; probably in their nightmares!
